A farting iPhone is one thing, but an iPhone that farts on someone else's command is just weird.

I can just about see why someone might install a fart app on their iPhone. But only just.

But what I really can't fathom is why you'd give someone else control of when your phone farts.

Yet that's what Whoopie Cushion 2.0 offers.

The $A1.99/$US0.99 Whoopie Cushion 2.0 (available from the App Store) extends the original app by giving any two users the ability to "push fart" via Bluetooth or an in-app email.

Right...

At least you can turn off push notifications if you change your mind.
